Tomtom GO 700

Pros: Very easy to use. Robust construction, good carry case. Good value. Simple clear interface.

Cons: Tricky to clip on to the mount. Screen could be brighter.

The Bottom Line: The Tomtom Go is a pleasure to use when you're driving, that's when its simplicity, clarity and reliability really make the difference.

Review: I bought the Tomtom Go 700 because I wanted to give my partner a break from having to map-read on our holidays. Also because I've always wanted satnav in my car but never had a car with it built in (and the built in ones worried me - what if the one in ...

Pros: Havent been lost in over a year

Cons: none

Review: This is a follow up review after more than a year of regular use. The unit continues to perform flawlessly. The new maps have been released as well as some software update as of Jan 07. The new maps are excellent as are the listing of the Points of ...

Pros: Gets you there everytime.

Cons: Customer support is nonexistant

Review: This review of the 700 after nearly two years of use. It works very well. I just downloaded the new 2006 maps and the improvements are noticable. Did you know it has free software that will locate every Dunkin Donuts in the US? Now that's what I call ...

Pros: I like the audible messages for safety reasons. I drive a Jeep Wrangler.

Cons: I am paranoid about its being stolen when my Jeep is parked.

Review: Tom Tom is great and is easily transferred from one vehicle to another. The accuracy is amazing. This is a must when using a rental car in a strange city. Just program in your destination from the airport. In addition you can program additional ...

Pros: Gets you where you want to go with no fuss

Cons: a few map errors, battery getting 'tired'

Review: Type in your destination (or postcode) anywhere in Europe and relax as you are guided to where you want to go. No map reading blunders, no rows with your partner. Tomtom GO 700 has been brilliant. Only one glitch cured by the reset button underneath. ...

Pros: Ease of use. And ease of use.

Cons: Must orient carefully for visibility.

Review: I tired three Garmins and a Magellan. My primary requirement was intuitive interface which the two famous manufacturers are decidedly NOT. If you are looking for something an intelligent person can take out of the box and start using early in the same ...

Pros: Everything !! Bluetooth, clear graphix, clear voice commands,Built in rechargable battery,Etc...

Cons: Dont know of any yet.

Review: The TomTom Go 700 GPS system is excellent in all aspects.I haven't had it long but it does some awesome things. Picks up the satellites very quickly compared to other GPS systems. Has a super processor in it and the bluetooth feature is Great. Plus you ...

Pros: Compact size yet large, clear 3.5" screen, excellent user-interface and software, vocal commands clearly spoken.

Cons: Searching for POIs can be frustrating due to lack of information, still can't vocalize streetnames.

The Bottom Line: If you want the easiest user interface and smoothest recalculations in a GPS system, the TomTom GO-700 is for you. It's slightly lacking in a few areas hence four-stars.

Review: ----- Where in the world is TomTom Sandiego? ----- I hope I'm not the only one that remembers the incredibly catchy tune by Rockapella which played during each episode of WITWI Carmen Sandiego. I know it's been about a decade (yeah, I ...

Pros: Good user interface, ease of use, remote control. Effective feature set.

Cons: Partial Nokia phone support. Limited PC support. Lacks goodies.

The Bottom Line: A good product which delivers on its core function, but without the bells & whistles you'd expect from a flagship product, and with sporadic performance shortcomings.

Review: I am new to satellite navigation. My primary motivation for buying such an accessory is leisure road trips. None of my 4 cars has satellite navigation (was not a customary option or simply not available at all when I bought them). Regardless, I would ...

Pros: Bluetooth, compact design, advanced route planning features, touchscreen

Cons: Bluetooth incompatible with Verizon, inferior maps

The Bottom Line: If Bluetooth compatibility and advanced route planning options aren't of much importance to you, choose the Garmin c330 for its better maps and navigation.

Review: I had a very difficult time deciding between the Garmin c330 and the TomTom Go700. I first decided on the TomTom model because of the Bluetooth phone compatibility, but returned it because it did not work with my Verizon phone. I now own the Garmin and ...
